As a follow-up to last week's video on Fleet Street, just beyond the western end of Fleet Street, off the Strand, is a little cluster of pubs around Devereux Court which have a surprising amount of history, and in total you can walk between all four in under 90 seconds! (I prove this at the end of the video...)
As usual taking a look at the pub exteriors, interiors and their histories, and along the way covering the usual mix of eclectic themes from coffee houses to "bonesetting" to a failed coup d'etat to the popularity of Cheshire cheese in the 18th Century. Meeting a cast of colourful historical characters and some of the usual suspects like Dr Johnson and Samuel Pepys.
